Thanks to a lot of help on this board My netgear drivers are installed but I still have nothing in iwconfig. output from iwconfig is lo no wireless extensions.

running lshw gives the info on my wireless card but shows *network unclaimed.

What am I doing wrong here. how do I get linux to assign my card to wlan or eth.

Hello

Can you give us some more information:

- what type of network card do you use? If it is a PC card, post the output of lspci | grep Network
- post the output of cat /proc/net/wireless
- which network manager do you use (Network Manager, wicd,...)

Bye

ubuntu 7.04

not sure what else to check. I am a beginner at linux. post the output of cat /proc/net/wireless "first time I heard of that one be back with that info."

Hello

Apparently there is no linux driver for your card. That means that you have to use the windows driver with ndiswrapper. I have no experience with that.

You might check if http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-n...plicant-howto/ can help you.

It is not a driver problem. I tried it on damn small linux and fc3 and it worked fine. It must be a problem with ubuntu 7.04. I am going to reinstall ubuntu and see if that fixes it.

Solved this problem by installing a windows proxy server.
